so turns out my dad's iphone 4S has been acting up on him, and just so happens hes eligible for an upgrade. and he also doesn't really care about having the newest iphone. SO, i end up finding an AT&T SG 128 GB 6+at a Target (was looking for a 64GB but I'm not complaining), and I use his upgrade to get that 6+ on a next contract. Took it to AT&T and got the numbers switched, so now I've got my 6+ on my line with a new installment plan, and he's got my old (i had to replace my 5S thru AT&T's insurance just last month, so I can't even really call it old. its pretty much brand new lol) 5S on his line and continuing my old installments. He's going from a 16GB 4S to a 32GB 5S, so he's a happy camper lol. everyone wins!
not only that, but since i started a next account at target, they hooked me up with a $50 target gift card, which i then used to buy the apple leather case in black! also was able to get an invisible shield glass screen protector at AT&T for half off with my dad's govt employee discount.
So far loving the phone, and hope all you guys that have been waiting get your phones soon!! its worth the wait!
